I Am Sorry

I did not mean to hurt you, That was the last thing I wanted to do, But I was being selfish and I led you along, I can see now it was hurtful and wrong. The sin of omission is a sin just the same, Even if I give it a fancy name, It was wrong to let you believe a lie, I hope our friendship will not wither and die. I should have know to do what was right, How ashamed I feel in your sight, I know you must think less of me, I hope in time you will come to see. My desire to be close to you was so strong, To dream “what if” was wrong, I thought of myself before I thought of you, And that dear friend was a terrible thing to do.
